To all persons to whom these presents may come:

l Be it known .that I, PEREGRINE WHITE, of ,Dix-l mont Centre, of the county of Penobscot, and State ot Maine, have invented a new and'useful invention having reference to the Lubrication of the Bearings of Shafts; and I-dolxereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification and represent-ed inthe accompanying drawings, of which- Figure 1 is a top view,

Figure 2,1m end elevation,

.Figure 3, a longitudinal section, and

Figure 4, a transverse section of au automatic 1ubricator containing my invention.

When used it is to be arranged on or over the cap of the shaft-box or bearing, :nid is to open into the sameby conical openings, au,'1eading ont ot the bottom of the cistern or oil-reservoir A.

This cistern is a square or proper-shaped box or vessel provided with a bnr, b, extended across its upper part or mouth. It also has two forked guides, C C, fixed to opposite ends of it and elevated above it, in manner as represented in the drawings. Y

Each of such guides is slitted at its upper part to receive and guide two ears, l d, extended from a bar, B l

To one of the said ears a cam or cam-shaped profinger or projection, arranged so that during each re'volution of the shaft Vsuch fingeror projection shall be carried into contact with the lifter G, and orce it upward, so as to cause it to correspondingly elevatethe bar B, with its Stoppers or arms D D, and thus enable oii to low out of the cstern and into the box or bearing, and upon the shaft-journal thereof, pnovided the' cistern be charged with oil.

While the shaft may be at rest, there will be no eiinx of oil 'from the. lubricator,`and thus. there will be no waste ot' oil during such time, thelnhrication of lthe shaft; taking'place whileit is in movement only.v v

l claim the automatic lubricatingr apparatus, made in manner, for the purpose, and so as tooperate substantially as described. l
